Deb Hart's newest creation above
Art Show
Continued from page B-1
"Even though the civic denter is nice,
you don't get the traffic through there
and people just don't'go out of their way
to see the show," she said.
Despite the change in location and
the smaller attendance, the art show,
which is juried, meaning that art must
be approved by judges to be placed in
the show, typically draws about 120 art
pieces during the show. Although it is
a juried show, Schuyten and Hart said
that all types of art are welcome.
Schuyten and Hart said that the de-
crease in local interest in the art show
is indicative of a broader cultural shift
away from going to museums and live
entertainment to watching TV or play-
ing with newer technology, for example
video games or smart phones.
"They aren't doing face to face things
like live theater or live art shows. It's
very sad actually," Schuyten said.
While the overall cost of putting on
the show is only $1,000, it is difficult for
the small club to absorb the cost, associa-
tion board member, and show organizer
Connie Simpson said.
"We want to be sure that the club
doesn't go bankrupt over putting on this
show," she said. "When all the bills come
in, I imagine the board will take a look at
it and decide if they want to do it again."
Simpson said that sponsors are still

needed for this year's show, and dona-
tions are welcome.
While all three members of the as-
sociation acknowledge that attendance
at the show is waning, they all stressed
how important art is for the community.
"People just don't get to see art any-
more," Hart said.
Simpson also mentioned that the
show helps bring tourism dollars to the
area, because artists ot~n travel from
throughout western Washington to par-
ticipate in the show.
"We put a broad net out and try to get
people from a lot of areas - they have to
bring their art here, so maybe they have
to buy gas here, maybe they have to have
a meal here," Simpson said. "In that re-
spect I think it's sort of like tourism - the
county would miss that money."
For the association and its members,
art is an important part of life that
should be shared with the community.
They hope that with community support,
the art show, and art in Shelton, will live
on in the years to come.
"There's no limits on art, art comes in
all forms," Schuyten said.
The Spring Art Show runs from April
20 through April 29. Artists interested in
submitting their work can drop it off at
the Shelton Civic Center on April 17 and
18. Cost per piece is $10 for members
and $15 for non-members. Admission for
the public is free.
